Now, group video calls on Telegram

San Francisco ENCRYPTED messaging app Telegram is all set to introduce group video calls for its users in May, including support for web-based videoconferencing.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov made the announcement via a message posted to his official Telegram channel where he wrote "we will be adding a video dimension to our voice chats in May, making Telegram a powerful platform for group video calls".

"Screen sharing, encryption, noise-cancelling, desktop and tablet support - everything you can expect from a modern video conferencing tool, but with Telegram-level UI, speed and encryption. Stay tuned!" he added. The company originally planned to add the video call feature to its messaging service at some point in 2020.
